Keeping me from keeping you around
I can’t keep my feet on the ground
And there’s a million ways that I could mess it up, I always do
By making plans and making them too soon
I can’t make much sense out of you
But why bother?
‘Cause I’d rather call it off than wait for it to work
And why bother?
‘Cause I bet you’re better off with some other hopeless jerk
And I like you, but what can I do?
There’s too much space to make you stay
And there’s a price to pay for doing what I do, but I can’t stop
I open up my heart like it’s my job
I tell myself it’s over, but it’s not
I’ve got a running list of all the times I tried to break my fall
And all the times I wished that you would call
And all the times I wished for you at all
